FELCO 2/3 F-Gold - Professional Replacement Blade - Anti-Friction TiN Coating - High-Carbon Steel Bypass Pruning Blade

FELCO 2/3 F-Gold - Professional Replacement Blade - Anti-Friction TiN Coating - High-Carbon Steel Bypass Pruning Blade

Heavy sap build-up and metal-on-metal friction are the primary causes of hand fatigue and premature blade wear during intensive pruning. The FELCO 2/3 F-Gold is a professional-grade replacement bypass pruner blade featuring FELCO’s cutting-edge anti-friction technology. Engineered from high-carbon Swiss steel and treated with a high-performance golden layer, this specialized blade dramatically reduces sap adhesion and improves cutting smoothness. By lowering mechanical drag against the counter-blade, it ensures a consistently clean, surgical slice that maximizes battery efficiency on power tools and minimizes hand strain on manual shears.

Best For
Commercial viticulturists, orchardists, and professional landscapers using standard FELCO manual pruners or FELCO electronic tools who require maximum cutting fluidness, corrosion resistance, and reduced sap drag.

Key Features

• Advanced F-Gold Anti-Friction Coating: Coated with a premium titanium-nitride (TiN) layer that smooths out the cutting stroke, significantly reducing the energy required to slice through dense, sticky wood.
• Superior Sap and Resin Defense: The specialized golden surface resists the adhesion of moisture, plant sugars, and gummy resins, keeping the blade cleaner for longer periods between field maintenance stops.
• Premium Hardened Carbon Steel Base: Forged from high-grade Swiss carbon steel to deliver exceptional core toughness and a razor-sharp, taper-ground cutting edge that won't easily chip under stress.
• Maintained Performance Through Wear: Due to continuous mechanical stress, the golden coating wears naturally along the friction zone and cutting edge; however, this normal operational patina does not diminish the steel’s structural integrity or cutting quality.
• Surgical Cutting Precision: Delivers perfectly clean, compression-free bypass cuts that prevent tearing or bruising of delicate bark, promoting faster plant healing and better overall crop health.

Sizes Available

• Available in standard 83 mm Right-Handed Replacement Blade Configuration.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
